Boulia, Administrative center in Queensland, Australia
Boulia serves as the primary administrative hub for a vast region covering 61,176 square kilometers of Queensland's outback territory.
The settlement, established in 1879 by surveyor Frederick Arthur Hartnell, derives its name from a waterhole term in the Pitta Pitta indigenous language.
The Min Min Encounter Complex presents a 45-minute show featuring local accounts of unexplained luminous phenomena observed in the region since 1912.
The town maintains essential facilities including a library, sports complex, tourist centers, and Australia's first three-dimensional pedestrian crossing.
Each July, Boulia hosts the longest camel racing event in Australia, attracting participants and spectators to this remote outback location.
